Full Description
NG82NE 23 870 254.
The structure occupies the E shoreward end of the small grass-grown rock peninsula that partly encloses Ob na Leobag, and is a complex of overgrown earth and stone banks generally some 1m wide by 0.4m high. A roughly circular uneven grass-grown central area some 5.6m in diameter is surrounded by eight cells and a gateway corridor. The cells are open to the central area and are some 4m long over the bank forming the outer, circular perimeter of the site, overall diameter c. 14m. On the E side a roughly cobbled and stepped path enters from the peninsula neck. On the N side the outer ends of some of the cells have been eroded by wave action from the open loch. On the S, bay side of the site, and elsewhere along the bay side of the peninsula are stretches of dry-stone revetting.
